Why he left politics and the message to the opposition: Lost in every election

Vasilika Hysi withdraws from the race to be part of the April 25 elections, as a candidate for MP. The decision did not belong to Prime Minister Rama and is not related to political issues within the SP, although influenced by politics. Vasilika Hysi told News 24 that the decision was personal, because after 12 years in politics, the time had come to have a balance between personal, family, work and society: The balance between family, personal life and friendship in these years has been more from work. But I do not regret it, she says.

Hysi:

It is a personal decision, I do not have politics my profession, I came from the academic world, I contributed for 12 years, as I came I was evaluated, I headed the list in the district of Tirana a few years ago, I think two terms were necessary for me, I think I had need for a balance between work, family, society. I work dedicatedly and say that working in politics takes work and time. The balance between family, personal life and friendship in these years has been more than work. But I do not regret it.

Did the Prime Minister feel sorry for him?

I was rated in three races with a very good position on the list, I was not the only one who could be in that place, there were others who deserved it. The SP has supporters, members with long contributions like I come from academia. I think for 12 years I gave as much as I could, but I got it without realizing it, I made friends I would not have known in other terms.

I did not think that the Prime Minister would be waiting for me at the meeting I had asked for a few weeks ago. I sent him an email, I met him, we drank coffee together, he respected me and he kept his word. He told me that we will have a difficult journey if we are in opposition or in power. The Prime Minister on the one hand did not expect it but on the other hand praised the fact that I think that in this period I have given as much as I could with this space, that you do not have the freedom as a teacher, but on the other hand I am ready to contribute to what I have in my heart, justice reform.

Express regret?

Definitely but I appreciate the fact that I do not leave in a hurry. I thought that there are very good voices in the Socialist Party and no gap is created. Efforts for justice reform have been made since 2010. The opposition must contribute to do it for the good of the country, but if they want to dismantle it they are lost not only for this term but in any other term. I will continue to give my contribution.
